Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #77

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!

I got temporarily lost in Jerusalem today - not a difficult task in a city where everything is white. Just before I figured out where I was, I came across this oh-so-intriguing building. When I pulled over to the side of the road to take a quick photo, I was thinking that I liked the random spacing of the windows - it's a cool, unexpected twist on the modern skyscrapers where everything looks the same, and there is no apparent difference between the different stories. But now, posting it here, I wonder if it's actually a message in Morse code? Does anyone out there know?

Maybe it says "stop reading this building?"

I thought I should get a closer shot of the windows, although there's not much detail to see, it's actually a little bit mesmerizing :)

Anyway, three cheers for getting lost and finding new buildings!

Here we are, back once more for your favorite little meme!

As you may recall, a few weeks ago was Yom HaAtsma'ut, Israel's Independence Day. Our entire country enjoyed a well-deserved vacation day, and my family decided to go and see the Israeli Air Force museum, near Be'er Sheva. It was a lot of fun! We got to see impressive airplanes:

Cute airplanes:

Really strange airplanes:

And more! If you haven't been to this museum, I highly recommend it - it was really interesting, and a lot of fun! And full of interesting windows and doors :)

Welcome back all, to your favorite little architectural meme!

Remember those windows and doors that we saw being built a few weeks ago? Well, things are developing from all sides, and they now have fancy sidewalks and a roof! This is so interesting...

 What a pretty view!

Here we are, back again once more for your very favorite little meme!

I thought I had posted this already, but apparently I haven't, so here goes! This building near mine has a slightly mesmerizing shape to it, I really like how the balconies all slide between one another. You'll recognize some of these windows and railings from my Israeli flag collection, a few weeks back :)

(Sorry for the delay in this post, everyone. Last week the linking site gave me trouble, this week Blogger wouldn't let me upload photos until this morning. Photoblogs aren't much good without photos... anyway, sorry for your trouble, here's hoping next week is smooth sailing!)
Anyway...

Skywatch - check out my awesome new camera!

I think I may have mentioned that my parents were amazingly generous, and bought me a big fancy camera, for my recent big round birthday. I'm still working on how to carry it around with me like I do my little camera, but meanwhile, I haven't had as many opportunities to use it as I'd like. Anyway... late this afternoon, I noticed the moon rising in the east, and grabbed my little camera. Pretty, right?

Suddenly it occurred to me that this was a great opportunity to try out my cool Canon Rebel, so I ran inside to get it. I tried to zoom to about the same distance, and got this:

But wait, it can zoom even further...

*and* I can play with where I focus...

This is fun - yay!

Here, we are once again, here at your favorite little meme!

A couple of weeks ago, my youngest daughter mentioned that they had received a tree house for the kids at her school. "Tree house?" I wondered, not sure what on earth she was talking about. And then when we came to the school for the science fair, we were greeted by this amazing, amazing thing. Just take a look for yourself!

It's an actual Lincoln Log house - wow! Now those are what I call worthwhile windows and doors :) I used to play with Lincoln Logs for hours when I was a kid - I get a kick imagining some gigantic people putting this together for my daughter's school :)

Here we are, back for your favorite little meme!

Well, it's that time of the year again, and we Israelis are on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions. You recall that last week was Yom HaShoah, our Holocaust Memorial Day, and that certainly wasn't easy. Today is Yom HaZikaron, our memorial day for Israel's fallen soldiers and victims of terror. And tomorrow will be Yom HaAtsma'ut, our Independence Day, the day that we celebrate like there's no tomorrow. Wow! Anyway, our whole country is decorated in blue and white for the occasion - I went on a short photowalk this morning, so I could better give you the idea:

 

This one is really impressive, it must have been a group effort:

 

This one is cool, you can still see the creases of the brand new flag:

I like this teeny tiny one, living in a planter :)

Well, those are my whimsical windows and delirious doors for the week! To play along with us, please post your photo of a window, door, or anything architectural, and link to it here in the widget. I can't wait to see what you've found for us this week! And for those of us celebrating, have a fantastic Yom HaAtsma'ut!

Here we are, back again for your favorite little meme!

I found these lovely, brand new windows this afternoon. Aren't they sweet? I am always a sucker for interesting ironwork...

Tonight marks Yom HaShoah, Israel's Holocaust Memorial Day. Something about these crisp new windows, built by Jews who are free in their own land, a land of religious freedom for all, contrasted with the images of the Holocaust, could almost give someone the chills. Thank God we are where we are in this world, and not where our parents and grandparents were!

Wow - number seven-oh of your favorite little meme:

Tonight is the last night of Passover, and my mother reminded me that it's Easter too! Happy holidays to all! I just wanted to post a quick gate, to keep our meme going :) Here you go!

I found this not too far from our house - I guess they really want their privacy :)

Happy Almost Passover to all! Thanks for coming by to check out your favorite little meme:

A couple of weeks ago, we were at our local dog park, when I heard some strange noises. I looked just above the park, and to my surprise, the frame of a building was being assembled. In Israel, the vast majority of construction is concrete, so this really took me by surprise! The weather wasn't great, so I came back a few days later when the sun came out a little bit, to show you what's going on. It's wacky - check this out!

 Mildly interesting, right? But I could look at the geometry all day long...

I'm so curious to see how this will end up!
